Hey mates, how does one find out the manufacturing date of their Type 99s? Or did they even have dates stamped on them?
Seriously, the first result when typing in 'Arisaka manufacturing dates' in google.

The information is rather vague and doesn't give me an exact date.

>based on serial number, high number or low, tells you how far from the beginning of production year or end your rifle was produced
It's truly unfortunate you can't just be told when it was made and actually have to do some work.

I'm partially retarded and was able to find charts that put a serial number within a ~6 month span of manufacture date on my own. You must be fully retarded.
